FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/31/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Baseball starts another week of games with 11 of them on Monday. Unfortunately, only seven of those 11 make the main slate on FanDuel.

Late-Round Lottery Tickets: Undervalued Veterans

In the previous article focusing on late-round gems worth uncovering, we looked at rookies and young players with expanding roles for 2020. This time, we'll pivot to the veterans who are being overlooked or undervalued for various reasons. I refer to these players as lotto tickets. The beauty of taking such players late in the […]

Zach Eflin (SP, PHI) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: Zach Eflin has been intermittently useful for fantasy purposes over the past couple of seasons, but he's never flashed this kind of strikeout ability before. After tossing seven strong innings in a win over the Braves on Saturday, the 26-year-old now has 37 punchouts in […]

Richard Rodriguez (RP, PIT) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Even after a rough outing on Saturday, Richard Rodriguez remains arguably the Pirates' best option for the ninth inning while Keone Kela is on the shelf. The 30-year-old had locked down his last two save opportunities before surrendering a walk-off home run against the […]

Alec Bohm (3B, PHI) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: A quiet week has his overall numbers looking a little less impressive than before, but rookie Alec Bohm looks like the real deal. After going 3-for-3 and hitting his first major league home run last Sunday, the 24-year-old was hitting .344 with a .993 OPS […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 7

There wasn't very much movement for outfielders on waivers over the past week, so most of the players listed in last week's article are still attractive pickups this week. Namely, Bryan Reynolds, Joc Pederson, Clint Frazier, and Brad Miller are all still rostered in fewer than 50% of leagues and remain worth a look from outfielder-hungry […]

We did it, everybody! We finally did it! We finally got Pablo Lopez’s ownership above 50%.

Ryan Tannehill (QB, TEN) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~142 ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill was a complete fantasy afterthought during the 2019 draft season. He had finished as fantasy's QB23 in 2018 and was projected to be a backup for the Titans. Tannehill had never been a quality fantasy starter previously and Tennessee was not expected to have […]

Ke'Shawn Vaughn (RB, TB) - Rookie Running Back Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~100 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~115 ANALYSIS: The Tampa rookie tested positive for COVID-19 back in late July and that clearly impacted his ADP during the past few days. The bump down reached its peak (valley?) the day he was placed on the Reserve List. That shouldn't be an issue for him once […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. (WR, JAX) - Rookie Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Other than D.J. Chark, Jr., the Jacksonville Jaguars do not have much in their wide receiver room. Enter Laviska Shenault, Jr. Shenault is a versatile wide receiver that can be used in the running game and the return game as well. He is the […]

Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~96 Overall CURRENT ADP:~113 ANALYSIS: As your fantasy drafts move towards the later rounds it becomes close to impossible to find players who are projected to be a team’s WR1. Enter Sterling Shepard, who presented similar value in ADP in coming into his first season without Odell Beckham Jr in 2019, and […]

Gerald Everett (TE, LAR) - Fantasy Football Tight End Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~160 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: If only because of the last five games of last season, Tyler Higbee should be the Rams leading tight end in 2020. Higbee was able to rack up fantasy points in that span like no one else (he averaged 21.4 from Week 13 to 17) […]

Mike Gesicki (TE, MIA) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~108 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~126 ANALYSIS: 2018 pick Mike Gesicki improved during his sophomore season in 2019. The Penn State product was second on the team in receptions, targets, yards, and touchdowns, all behind DeVante Parker. No joke, considering the level Parker showcased once for all. He played 16 games in 2019, […]

Preston Williams (WR, MIA) - Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~114 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~136 ANALYSIS: Williams had a memorable rookie campaign, racking up 428 yards and three touchdowns across eight games in 2019. He would catch 32-of-60 targets before tearing his ACL last November, standing as the 45th WR in both PPR and half-PPR leagues when it came to PPG. That amounted […]

Ian Thomas (TE, CAR) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Thomas turned in a preview of the future in Week 14 of last season when he hauled in five balls on 10 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown. Greg Olsen only missed two games so the glimpse was short-lived, but 2020 could be huge […]

Breshad Perriman (WR, NYJ) - Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~132 Overall CURRENT ADP:~158 ANALYSIS: No one is talking about Perriman and his under the radar signing with the Jets. Perriman was a forgotten man during most of 2019 playing in Tampa Bay behind one of the best WR combos in the game in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. It looked like […]

Drew Lock (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~172 ANALYSIS: Drew Lock is the starter for the Broncos in 2020 although the second-year QB only started in five games at the end of the 2019 season in which he went 4-1. This featured wins over the Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans, Detroit Lions, and the Oakland Raiders. […]
